    Once in a village, the villagers built a new church building and people came from far and wide to see it. They admired its beauty! They said it was the most beautiful building in the world. Up on the roof, a little nail（钉子）heard the people praising everything about the lovely structure – except the nail! No one even knew he was there, and he became very angry and sad.
    “If I am not important, nobody will miss me if I quit!” So the nail then released (松开) its hold, got down from the roof, and fell into the mud.
    That night it rained and rained. Soon, the board that had no nail was blown away, and the roof began to leak (漏水). The water flowed down along the walls and over the beautiful pictures on the walls. The plaster (石膏) began to fall, the floor was ruined, and the Bible was also ruined by water. All this was because a little nail decided to quit!
    But what of the nail? While holding the board, it was not known by others but it was useful. Buried in the mud now, it was useless and would soon be eaten up by rust!
    What the story wants to say is that every member is important to a whole group!
    You may, like the nail, feel not important at times, but just like the nail, your absence is felt. A big building might fall to pieces. You are important to a group even if you are small.
    小题1:Why did the nail decide to quit?
    A．Because he was not able to hold on any longer.
    B．Because he was angry and sad without people’s praising him.
    C．Because he knew a big nail would replace him.
    D．Because he had finished his task successfully.
    小题2:What’s the result of the nail’s giving up?
    A．People began to realize the importance of the nail.
    B．The nail was put in a more important position.
    C．Many things in the building were ruined and the nail was eaten up by rust.
    D．The nail regretted his original decision at last.
    小题3:The passage wants to tell us that ______.
    A．no matter how small you seem, you are important to a group
    B．it is a pity that small people are never looked up to
    C．quit when it is necessary, and don’t care about what others say
    D．being valued is important to a man

    小题1:B
    小题2:C
    小题3:A

    试题分析：
    小题1:细节题：从第一段的最后一句话：No one even knew he was there, and he became very angry and sad.可知答案是B。
    小题2:细节题：从文章第三第四段内容，可知是很多东西都毁了，钉子也被锈腐蚀了。选C
    小题3:主旨题：文章的最后一段的句子：You are important to a group even if you are small.点题：无论你多渺小，对别人都是重要的。选A

    I have recently completed my college degree. The last project was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out to smile at three people and document their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake.
    My husband, youngest son and I went out to McDonald. We were standing in line when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away. As I turned around I smelled a horrible body odour （气味）and saw two poor homeless men standing behind me. As I looked at the short blue-eyed gentleman closest to me, he was “smiling”. The second man fumbled（摸索）with his hands as he stood behind his friend.
    The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss,” because that was all they could afford.
    Then I really felt it－I embraced（拥抱） the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked two more breakfast meals on and gave them to the men.
    The blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Thank you.” When I sat down my husband smiled at me. We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that because of the good fortune that we had been given.
    I turned in my project. My teacher said, “Can I share this?” I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings share this need to heal people and to be healed.
    In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald’s and every soul that heard the story in the classroom. But, I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn.
    小题1:Why did people around the author in the McDonald step back?
    A．Because they were very polite to the two men.
    B．Because they were moved by the two men.
    C．Because the two men smelt terrible.
    D．Because the two men seemed unfriendly.
    小题2:Why did the two men only buy coffee?
    A．Because they didn’t have enough money.
    B．Because they didn’t feel hungry.
    C．Because they knew others would help them.
    D．Because they were looked down upon.
    小题3:How did the teacher think of the author’s project?
    A．Hard to believe.B．Interesting to read.
    C．Very puzzling.D．Very satisfying.
    小题4:What did the author think she learn from the story?
    A．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    B．Helping others can bring pleasure to many people.
    C．Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
    D．Don’t judge people according to their appearance.

    When I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh. Whenever I was “bad”, you'd shake your finger at me and ask, “How could you?”--but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.
    My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
    Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.
    Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.
    I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you?” were the only three words that swept over my mind.
    Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen (围栏), I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.
    My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.
    小题1:Who tells this story?
    A．A dog.B．A child.C．A dog's owner.D．A dog trainer
    小题2:Why did the dog's owner take his dog to the pound?
    A．He had a newborn baby.B．His wife did not like the dog.
    C．He was moving into a new building.D．He thought the dog too troublesome.
    小题3:Which is true about the dog when it lived at the pound?
    A．It hoped to be adopted by another family.B．It continued to love its former owner.
    C．It did not trust humans any more.D．It was excited about the pound.
    小题4:What is the theme of the story?
    A．Be ready for changes.B．Never expect too much.
    C．Never complain about your life.D．Be faithful to those who love you.

    Sarah Williams went to a boarding school.  Here is one of the
    letters she wrote to her parents from the school.
    Wentworth Girls' School
    Beachside
    July 20th
    Dearest Mom and Dad,
    I'm afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.
    The trouble started last night when I was smoking in bed.  This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.
    As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away.
    Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire.
    There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning.
    The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.
    The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
    I’m very sorry about this.
    Much love,
    Sarah
    P. S. None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams. I just want you to know how bad things could have been!
    小题1:Why did Sarah write home?
    A．To tell her parents about the fire.
    B．To ask for a lot of money.
    C．To tell her parents she had failed her exams.
    D．To tell her parents she had to leave school.
    小题2:Why did Sarah tell her parents the story about the fire?
    A．She wanted to worry them.
    B．She wanted to make them laugh.
    C．She wanted to make them less angry at the real news.
